Researcher, educator, and problem solver working on how people move through and experience cities — from mobility and exposure to open, reproducible geospatial tools.

About

Hello, and welcome to my personal website! On these pages, I share primarily work-related content and news. I’m Kamyar Hasanzadeh, a geospatial researcher, problem solver, and educator based in Finland at the University of Helsinki, Department of Geosciences and Geography.

My work sits at the intersection of:

  • Human mobility & everyday travel behavior
  • Active & sustainable travel
  • Person–environment relationships
  • Participatory mapping (PPGIS / SoftGIS) & VGI
  • Open, reproducible GIS methods in Python
  • AI for geospatial science

This website is a simple hub for my research, publications, teaching, and academic CV.

Open education and teaching

I teach GIS and Python using open course materials and interactive methods, with an emphasis on hands-on learning and reproducible methods. I also develop open educational content and course environments that students can run locally or in containerized setups.
